B Type veins are a unique indicator of the magmatic hydrothermal transition environment where porphyry type copper, gold and molybdenum deposit form. Learning to identify them is a really useful tool in the kit for mineral exploration geologists.
They were first identified by Gustafson and Hunt in the El Salvador porphyry copper deposit in Chile:
Gustafson, L.B., and Hunt, J.P., 1975, The porphyry copper deposit at El
Salvador, Chile: Economic Geology, v. 73, p. 600–607.
